In our 'Dr.Beauty Answers All' series, Dr.Ghada from Obagi Dubai answers our last question regarding body contouring and the best methods whereby women can achieve it.

 

What are the different methods recommended for body contouring?

People in our region are very aware of sports and exercising to keep in shape. However a common problem in Middle Eastern women is cellulite. For these women we recommend Velashape, a radio frequency machine used once a week all over problem areas. This can also be combined with other methods such as carboxy, which not only reduces cellulite but also tightens the skin and reduces fat. 

Other machines like the cool sculpturing have irreversible results, unless you eat a lot of junk food and don't watch your food intake at all. For example, let’s say your abdomen is your problem area, one session takes about 70 minutes. If you have a large abdomen, we split it up in three sessions for three separate sections. This method is very safe and usually irreversible. We use minus 8 degrees to destruct fat, which will travel to the liver and get excreted. We recommend walking a lot post session but no strenuous exercise.
